Note: You'll find, as you browse thru the domino rules on this site,
and compare them to rules in books, or or to rules on other web sites, that there
are many minor points of difference. That's because dominoes has evolved as an
informal game, and has never been fully codified into any sort of widely-accepted
standard. The rules on this site, or in any other reference, should not in any
way be taken as the final word. Most games have numerous minor rule variances,
and there are innumerable regional rule variations as well.
Don't let that frustrate you or stop you from playing the games -
as long as you and the people you play with agree on the rules and enjoy playing
dominoes, then you're playing "the right way".
